    “Advent Prep Club simplified the planning process, kept me organized and on budget, and made me look like a hero to my boys with all the boy-friendly activities! Most importantly, Advent Prep Club gave me more ideas on how to naturally point our family toward Christ. Each activity held a golden opportunity to have meaningful moments and conversations about Jesus, His character and how much He loves us. I’m so thankful for the rich tradition and sweet memories that our Advent activity calendar has given us over the years, and having access to an online planning resource like Advent Prep Club is icing on the cake!”

    “Advent Prep Club was the gift I didn’t know we needed last year! As a newly single momma, ensuring our 2020 Advent calendar was special and included many of our normal traditions was a priority. So many things looked different in our lives, but Advent Prep Club allowed us to cherish the Christmas season, relieving me of all the stress and planning, so I could fully enjoy time with my girls. APC was a HUGE blessing that I will always be thankful for and recommend to everyone!”
